Spring is rife with high-brow dos but how does one manoeuvre the temptation to splurge on a statement piece that just doesn’t get much wear after all the champagne has dried up. Here are game-changing tips on how to dress for the fast lane while keeping your regular outfit rotation in mind.

White Hot
Champion the romantic trend in a whimsical white dress circa Picnic At Hanging Rock style. Elegant, tick. Of-the-minute, tick. Can be worn with Tevas later on, tick.

Wrap It Up
The universally flattering wrap dress is an easy one-and-done solution. Choose bold prints for an extra-special feeling that won’t date, then add hair candy clips and a pair of metallic barely-there heels.

Silk Separates
Subtly sexy yet ultra-versatile. The slinky midi-skirt can be teamed with an equally silky button-up shirt and shiny boots for an effortless (dare we say comfortable) everyday look. Just add a fascinator or fun clips when you're at the track.
Tailored to You
Slouchy power suits in colours of the rainbow will translate easily off track and into real life. Accompany sheer blouses with made-to-be-seen lingerie underneath to amplify the dressed up mood. Then make it business with a crisp shirt, tortoiseshell glasses and a ladylike handle bag to give you an air of class.
